I contacted MG direct, and got very fast replies. They didn't give me the answer I wanted, but credit due, they replied in a few minutes [email protected]

That's a fair point, but they still knew what was wanted and didn't do it

MG are all over the place and blowing a lot of customer goodwill.

Glyn Hopkin in Waltham Abbey have just had my car for 5 days. I had told them that all I wanted was the Tesla fix. Dropped the car off Monday 8am. They called me Friday afternoon to say that they could apply the fix for £180. I told them the *#_&( off. What on earth were they doing for 5...

Are other updates available and worthwhile?

Prior to buying my MG5, for many years, I went to a local back street garage who were brilliant. I popped in there recently and they told me they were now able to service EVs and were able to maintain warranties. I asked them about the Tesla issue, and weirdly, they seemed to know more about the...

I tried with my MG5 LR pre facelift and using the Tesla app, it was a fail. I didn't try contactless, but I doubt that would work as the charger could not recognise the car.

Might be worth trying again, they let me on board only a couple of weeks ago, maybe it's changed recently

Haha, fair point!

That's really helpful, thank you ! 👍

I love my MG5 LR. As said elsewhere, the spread of Tesla SC sharing will hopefully bring down the cost of all public chargers, a point well made in the recent "Dave Takes it on" video on YouTube. I reckon I do 80% of charging at home, so maybe I am just being a grump!

But IO can't know what you start with? That's the bit I am confused about. Does it just add in 33% of whatever your maximum capacity is? So if you start with 10KWh, in your example would it add 20KWh, leaving with with 30KWh at the end of the charge? I get my first bill in a few days which...

I have a pre facelift MG5 LR on IOG. How do you stop a charge all the way to 100%. The IO is a slippery thing and seems eager to charge all the way, as it can't know the charge level. I have suggested to Octopus that we have the option to request, say 20KWh rather than a percentage.

I just went to the Tesla chargers in Tottenham V4 I think. Failed to detect the car, so there must be a software issue as discussed elsewhere here. My pre facelift MG5 LR just failed on a Tesla V4 charger using the Tesla app. I have just had a service done, and raised the issue, but they...

I asked about the Tesla issue, but they were unaware of it. There was a software update that fixed an issue with the threshold for illuminating the brake lights when regen braking, that was it. Mythbusting: after 2 years and 17k miles, my brakes are 10% worn. So much for excessive brake dust!

My MG5 pre facelift is in for a service tomorrow, they called to confirm the booking, and mentioned a recall, I will try and find out what the recall/upgrade is about. Please reply ASAP if you want me to ask any questions, booked in for 8am

I had a similar problem. The penny dropped when a friend's phone connected reliably and instantly every time, it was a phone problem

I typically charge at home on a 7KW charger overnight. Sometimes, it will get to 100% and then just stops - there is no low-level balancing that I can see. Maybe it just doesn't need it. I rarely use Rapid chargers and keep it between 20 & 80%

My MG5 LR is 13 months old, and about 9000 miles on the clock. I rarely charge to 100%, usually getting down to 80 miles of range before topping up 110 miles overnight. It has never made a mention of a balance charge. Does that sound right?

Where can you find the SOH figure?
